After undergoing surgery for his injuries, Sams was released from the University of Louisville Hospital and officially arrested Wednesday, according to court records.

During Thursday's arraignment hearing, Sams sat in a wheelchair and was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, convicted felon in possession of a handgun, fleeing or evading police on foot, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal trespassing.

Shively Police Chief Kevin Higdon said previously that officers were initially called to the area of Grandview Drive and San Jose Avenue on a report of a male suspect "walking in the middle of the street, acting erratic and causing alarm to several residents" in the area.

Sams fled from officers through various backyards and refused orders to stop and show his hands, Higdon said.

Body camera footage released last week by Shively police showed Sams eventually pulling out a handgun and pointing it at Officer Steve Becker, who then shot Sams several times in his torso, hip and leg.

Officers discovered that Sams' handgun was loaded with one round in the chamber, according to an arrest report.
